Oh god yeah I hated that final fight. Made me think of fighting games when two players select the same character and you see one guy fighting himself, except in a different color.

Unpopular opinion: the setting, depiction of the culture of Wakanda and actors were great. I’m not missing the significance of an essentially all-black movie crushing it at the box office, and I’m really happy about that. However I thought the much-lauded antagonist was kind of one-dimensional and the plot in…

Stock options as part of compensation didn’t really move in recent years. Restricted stock grants have made up most of the gains.

Wait, who drank the soda - the woman or the story maker? I’m confused now.

Is there also a proviso for un-skippable story cutscenes in single-player games? I’ve sometimes found that to be an issue too.

My wife generally throws herself between me and the screen and hits random keys on the keyboard if she wants my urgent attention.

Or... just don’t let Facebook run political ads? I’m sure they can make enough money just from shoemakers and travel agencies.
